John Cena secured a championship opportunity against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 after winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match. However, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts suggests another competitor could potentially join this high-profile bout.
Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since Seth Rollins brutally attacked him at Royal Rumble 2025. The former champion is currently advertised to appear on two upcoming SmackDown episodes during WWE’s European Tour.
During the latest edition of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts discussed the possibility of Reigns inserting himself into the championship picture upon his return.
I think if Roman Reigns is going to be on those SmackDowns, maybe Roman Reigns is going to be on some Monday Night RAWs and we just don’t know yet. But if Roman Reigns is going to SmackDown, does he get involved in Cody [Rhodes] and John Cena’s [match]? Is Roman gonna somehow find a spot in that, and maybe Seth Rollins and CM Punk are left alone? Maybe Seth Rollins and CM Punk just go to WrestleMania against each other. That’s not a main event if that’s the case.
According to reports, WWE is currently planning a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 41 featuring Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk. This potential configuration would keep Reigns separate from the Rhodes-Cena championship program.
The Undisputed WWE Championship match is set to be one of the marquee attractions at WrestleMania 41, which takes place on April 19-20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
